To create a workflow that triggers when a new row is added to a Google Sheet, searches for the track ID on Spotify using the track and artist names, follow these steps: 1. Use the “New Row in Google Sheet” trigger from the Google Sheets app. Connect your Google Sheets account and select the specific sheet you want to monitor for new rows. 2. Add a “Run Node.js Code” action from the Node app. In the code, use the axios package from @pipedream/platform to make a request to the Spotify API. You’ll need to authenticate with Spotify and use their search API. Here’s an example component that searches for a track using the track and artist names: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { trackName: { type: "string", label: "Track Name", default: steps.trigger.event.newRow[1], }, artistName: { type: "string", label: "Artist Name", default: steps.trigger.event.newRow[4], }, spotifyAccessToken: { type: "string", label: "Spotify Access Token", // You should securely store your Spotify access token and use it here }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const query = `${this.trackName} artist:${this.artistName}`; const response = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.spotifyAccessToken}`, }, params: { q: query, type: "track", limit: 1, }, }); if (response.data.tracks.items.length > 0) { const trackId = response.data.tracks.items[0].id; return { trackId }; } else { return { message: "No track found" }; } }, }); Replace spotifyAccessToken with your actual Spotify access token. You can obtain one by following the Spotify Authorization Guide. This component will search for the track using the track and artist names from the new row in the Google Sheet and return the track ID if found.
To get an access token for Spotify, you’ll need to follow the OAuth 2.0 authorization process. Here’s a high-level overview of the steps: 1. Register your application on the Spotify Developer Dashboard: Dashboard | Spotify for Developers 2. Obtain your Client ID and Client Secret from the dashboard. 3. Implement the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow in your application. You can follow the Spotify Authorization Guide: Authorization | Spotify for Developers Once you’ve completed the OAuth 2.0 flow, you’ll receive an access token that you can use to make API requests to Spotify. Please note that the access token will expire after a certain period, and you may need to refresh it using the refresh token provided during the OAuth 2.0 flow.
You’re correct! If you’ve already connected your Spotify account to Pipedream, you can use the pre-built Spotify actions without needing to manually handle access tokens. For your use case, you can use the “Get a Track” action to search for the track using the track and artist names. Here’s how to use the “Get a Track” action: 1. Search for the Spotify app from the step menu. 2. Select the “Get a Track” action. 3. Connect your Spotify account. 4. Pass the track and artist names from the Google Sheets trigger step. 5. At the bottom of the step, click “Test” to run the action and test the configuration. This action will search for the track using the track and artist names and return the track ID if found.
It seems like there might be some unescaped characters in the URL or parameters of your API request. To fix this issue, you can use JavaScript’s encodeURIComponent() function to encode the values before passing them to the API request. For example, if you’re using the track name and artist name in the URL or as query parameters, you can encode them like this: ```
const encodedTrackName = encodeURIComponent(this.trackName); const encodedArtistName = encodeURIComponent(this.artistName);
Yes, you can add an encoding step in your Pipedream workflow using a code step. Here’s an example of how to encode the track and artist names using encodeURIComponent(): ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const trackName = steps.previousStep.trackName; const artistName = steps.previousStep.artistName; const encodedTrackName = encodeURIComponent(trackName); const encodedArtistName = encodeURIComponent(artistName); return { encodedTrackName, encodedArtistName, }; }, });
You can create a code step in your Pipedream workflow to encode the track name and artist name using the provided paths. Here’s an example: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const trackName = steps.trigger.event.newRow[1]; const artistName = steps.trigger.event.newRow[4]; const encodedTrackName = encodeURIComponent(trackName); const encodedArtistName = encodeURIComponent(artistName); return { encodedTrackName, encodedArtistName, }; }, }); This code step takes the track and artist names from the trigger step, encodes them using encodeURIComponent(), and returns the encoded values. You can then use these encoded values in your API request or any other step in your workflow.
It seems like the API request in the “get-track” step is encountering a 400 error with the message “invalid id”. This might be due to an incorrect track ID being passed to the API request. To help you further, please provide more details about the “get-track” step, such as the API endpoint you’re using and how you’re passing the track ID. This will help me identify the issue and provide a solution.
To search for a track using the “Get a Track” action in Pipedream, you’ll need the track ID. If you don’t have the track ID, you can use the “Search” action to find the track by its name and artist. Here’s how to use the “Search” action: 1. Search for the Spotify app from the step menu. 2. Select the “Search” action. 3. Connect your Spotify account. 4. Choose “track” as the type of search. 5. Pass the encoded track and artist names (from the previous encoding step) as the query. 6. At the bottom of the step, click “Test” to run the action and test the configuration. This action will search for the track using the track and artist names and return a list of matching tracks, including their track IDs. You can then use the track ID with the “Get a Track” action.

Since you only have the track name and artist name, you can use the “Search” action in Pipedream to find the track ID. Here’s how to do it: 1. Search for the Spotify app from the step menu. 2. Select the “Search” action. 3. Connect your Spotify account. 4. Choose “track” as the type of search. 5. Pass the encoded track and artist names (from the previous encoding step) as the query. 6. At the bottom of the step, click “Test” to run the action and test the configuration. This action will search for the track using the track and artist names and return a list of matching tracks, including their track IDs. You can then use the track ID with the “Get a Track” action.
I understand that you’d like to use Node.js to search for the track ID using the track name and artist name from the provided paths. To do this, you’ll need to use the Spotify API. First, you’ll need to obtain an access token from Spotify. Once you have the access token, you can make a search request to the Spotify API using the track name and artist name. Here’s an example: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const trackName = steps.trigger.event.newRow[1]; const artistName = steps.trigger.event.newRow[4]; const clientId = "your_spotify_client_id"; const clientSecret = "your_spotify_client_secret"; const auth = Buffer.from(`${clientId}:${clientSecret}`).toString("base64"); const tokenResponse = await axios(this, { method: "POST", url: "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Authorization": `Basic ${auth}`, }, data: "grant_type=client_credentials", }); const accessToken = tokenResponse.access_token; const searchResponse = await axios(this, { method: "GET", url: "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search", headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`, }, params: { q: `track:${trackName} artist:${artistName}`, type: "track", }, }); const trackId = searchResponse.tracks.items[0].id; return { trackId }; }, }); Replace your_spotify_client_id and your_spotify_client_secret with your actual Spotify client ID and secret. This code will search for the track using the track name and artist name, and return the track ID. Make sure to follow the Spotify API documentation for any additional requirements or changes.
